📖 About This Game

Trial of the Gods is a competitive game set in Ancient Greece during the time of the gods. Build your deck to manage your actions, gain the favor of the Gods, and access their incredible power. Travel among the islands of the Aegean Sea in search of the Golden Fleece, compete in Olympic challenges, and tame mythological monsters. Recruit your Argonauts and choose your winning strategy. Olympus awaits you! In Trial of the Gods, each player controls an Argonaut who becomes their Captain. They will guide the Captain through the islands of the Aegean Sea, facing dangerous seas, monsters and other Argonauts in search of the Golden Fleece. The goal of each Captain is to prove they are the bravest of heroes in all the challenges that come their way during the five days (rounds) in which the game takes place: ✴ Exploration: explore as much of the archipelago and find as many parts of the Golden Fleece as possible. ✴ Domination: defeat the Monsters that infest the archipelago. ✴ Devotion: build the most valuable deck of cards. ✴ Olympics: obtain the most Champion Tokens during the Olympics. At the end of the last Round, the players’ positions in the various Rankings are determined to decide the winner. The Rankings are counted one at a time in the order below, with each position corresponding to Victory Points. The player with the most Victory Points wins.
